Fortinet FortiGate 60E-DSL Managed FortiGate Service (NOC), 1-Year (FC-10-FG60E-660-02-12)

The FortiGate 60E-DSL still earns its place at sites where the only link into the building runs over a DSL line and its integrated modem does the job a separate box used to. Keeping that firewall current is the catch: a VPN this week, a policy change the next, a routing tweak when the office reshuffles, all of it needing hands a small site rarely keeps on staff. The FortiGate 60E-DSL 1-Year Managed FortiGate Service (FC-10-FG60E-660-02-12) hands that ongoing work to Fortinet’s network operations center, with engineers performing device setup and managing network and policy changes around the clock. It is a managed service delivered as a subscription, with no hardware and electronic delivery worldwide.

What this service covers

The Managed FortiGate Service puts Fortinet’s NOC to work on the 60E-DSL so your own team does not have to run it day to day:

• Device setup and onboarding: NOC engineers bring the firewall into a managed state, set a baseline configuration, and confirm it is reporting correctly.
• Network change management: routing, interfaces, VPN, and the DSL WAN connectivity are handled by Fortinet staff through a controlled request process rather than ad hoc edits.
• Policy change management: firewall rules and security policy are adjusted on your behalf, with each change documented so there is a clear record of what moved and when.
• 24×7 availability: the service is staffed around the clock, so a change or an issue at an awkward hour does not wait for your business day to start.

Who needs it

This subscription suits an organization that depends on a FortiGate 60E-DSL but has no network engineer to keep it tuned: a small business, a branch on a DSL circuit, or a remote site where sending someone on-site is impractical. It also helps when an in-house team is stretched and would rather have Fortinet experts own the routine config and policy work so their own effort goes elsewhere.

Activation and delivery

The entitlement is issued electronically and registered to a specific FortiGate 60E-DSL by serial number. Onboarding with the NOC starts once the service is provisioned, and the one-year coverage window runs from activation. Nothing ships, and the firewall needs to be in service so the NOC can reach and manage it.

Operations, not a security subscription

The Managed FortiGate Service covers how the 60E-DSL is run and changed, not the FortiGuard threat intelligence that blocks attacks. Intrusion prevention, antivirus, and web filtering live in the UTP or Enterprise bundle, and most managed sites run one of those alongside this service so the NOC has full protection to operate. Pairing the two gives you both a managed device and an actively defended one.

Running a 60E-DSL on managed support

The FortiGate 60E generation is a previous-generation platform, so a hardware refresh to a current model such as the FortiGate 70G is worth planning for over time, particularly where the integrated DSL modem is no longer essential. Until that refresh happens, this managed service is a sensible way to keep an in-service 60E-DSL configured correctly and changed safely, and the NOC can help keep its configuration clean for an eventual migration. If you want to scope that move, we can map the 60E-DSL onto its current equivalent before you commit.
